Chinese authorities have barred a 62-year-old Catholic priest and rights activist from entering China. It comes amid escalating clashes with the Vatican.

Italian-born Father Franco Mella participated in recent Hong Kong protests against the regime's ordinations of two bishops without consent from the pope.

Mella, who lives in Hong Kong, has a valid Chinese visa and did not have any problems visiting the Mainland before in the past two decades.

But on Tuesday, he was stopped at the Hong Kong-Shenzhen immigration checkpoint and told his Chinese visa had been cancelled.
